The Most Important Consideration

A mattress isn't measured by how it feels in the store. It's measured by how your back feels in the morning.

For 62 years we have helped people find the support that lets them wake up without that familiar ache. Everything we learned went into one mattress, the Orthopedic Firm, built from natural Talalay latex in layers you can tailor to your body. We call it THE BACK PAIN MATTRESS because it was designed around one goal: keeping your spine supported, comfortably, all night.

Too Soft

The hips sink deepest, the midsection bows, and the lower back is held in a strained curve all night.

Orthopedic Firm

The firm core holds the pelvis level while the latex surface softly contours, so the spine rests in a relaxed, neutral line.

Too Hard

Nothing gives at the shoulders and hips, creating pressure points that cause tossing and turning.

Ten Reasons

Why the Orthopedic Firm is THE BACK PAIN MATTRESS.

01

Firm Support Exactly Where Your Back Needs It

The heaviest part of your body is your pelvis, and when a mattress lets it sink, your lower back pays the price. The Orthopedic Firm is built around a firm natural latex support core that holds your hips level with your shoulders and legs, so your spine can rest in its natural shape instead of sagging into a hammock.

Think of standing at ease, translated onto the bed: head supported, shoulders settled, pelvis controlled.

02

Orthopedic Firm, Never Rock Hard

Old advice said a bad back needed a board. We know better. Talalay latex has an airy, buoyant structure that gives gently under the shoulders and hips while the core stays supportive underneath. You get the firmness your spine needs without the pressure points that keep you tossing at 3 a.m.

Four Firmnesses, Because Every Back Is Different

Body weight, shape and sleep position all change what "firm" feels like. That is why every Orthopedic Firm comes in Soft, Regular Firm, Extra Firm and Ultra Firm. A lighter side sleeper and a heavier back sleeper should not be sold the same mattress, and with us, they never are.

Zippered Layers That Change When Your Back Does

Backs change: an injury heals, a new one appears, a partner sleeps differently. Separate zippered layers of natural latex mean the firmness of your mattress can be adjusted or a layer replaced, instead of living with a decision for twenty years. It is a mattress that keeps fitting you.

05

No Sagging, No Hammock, No Valley

Body impressions in a worn mattress quietly pull your spine out of line night after night. Natural latex is famously durable and springs back, and the Orthopedic Firm is quilted on both sides and fully reversible, so wear stays even and support stays where you need it, year after year.

06

Easy to Turn Over Without Pain

For a sore back, rolling over in a deep, sinking foam bed can be the hardest part of the night. Latex is responsive, pushing back gently so changing positions takes less effort, and it reduces the motion that wakes a partner.

07

Cooler, Cleaner, Deeper Sleep

Pain feels worse when sleep is broken. The open-cell Talalay structure breathes to help regulate temperature, and natural latex is hypoallergenic and resists dust mites, mold and bacteria, so fewer things interrupt the deep, restorative sleep your back recovers in.

08

Perfect on an Electric Adjustable Bed

Raising your knees or settling into zero gravity takes the pull off the lower back for many people. Every Orthopedic Firm model flexes smoothly on our electric adjustable beds, turning the back-relief positions you already know into a bed that moves with you.

09

Natural Materials, Built to Last

Sustainably sourced latex from rubber trees, free of harmful chemicals and synthetic fillers. Latex mattresses last significantly longer than foam or innerspring, and every Orthopedic Firm carries a 20-year limited warranty.

10

Guaranteed, or Your Money Back

We are confident enough to put it in writing. If the Orthopedic Firm doesn't help you wake up feeling your best, you get your money back, including the delivery and pick up charges. No one with a bad back should have to gamble on a mattress.

Your Back, Your Position

The right Orthopedic Firm for how you sleep.

A starting point for your showroom visit. Your body, and your clinician's advice, always come first.

Back Sleepers

Keep the pelvis level.

Back sleepers need the hips held up so the lower back doesn't bow. Most prefer a steadier surface.

SoftUltra
Often Regular to Extra Firm
Side Sleepers

Let shoulders settle.

Side sleepers need enough give at the shoulder and hip to keep the spine straight from neck to tailbone.

SoftUltra
Often Soft to Regular Firm
Stomach Sleepers

Stop the sink.

Stomach sleepers need firm support that keeps the pelvis from dropping and arching the lower back.

Often Extra to Ultra Firm

Four back relief positions: legs on a chair, sitting on your knees, back against the wall, legs up the wall
Beyond the Mattress

Four positions many people use for back relief.

Each changes how the body's weight is supported, which may let the lower back relax. Pair them with the right mattress and an adjustable bed, and you have a complete approach to resting your back.

  1. Legs Resting on a ChairLie on your back, calves on a chair, hips and knees bent about 90 degrees.
  2. Sitting on Your KneesSit back on your heels with your back upright.
  3. Back Against the WallSit cross-legged with your back supported by a wall.
  4. Legs Up Against the WallLie flat with your legs resting straight up a wall.

Questions

About THE BACK PAIN MATTRESS.

What makes the Orthopedic Firm good for a bad back?

A firm natural Talalay latex core keeps your hips from sinking out of line, while the latex surface contours to relieve pressure at the shoulders and hips. Three heights and four firmnesses let us match that support to your body and the way you sleep.

Is firmer always better for back pain?

No. Orthopedic firm means supportive, not hard. An overly hard mattress can create pressure points, especially for side sleepers. That is exactly why we offer four firmnesses in every model, and why we want you to try them in person.

What if I pick the wrong firmness?

The latex layers are zippered inside the cover, so firmness can be adjusted. And the mattress is guaranteed, or your money back, including delivery and pick up charges. Please call for complete details.

Will it work on my adjustable bed?

Yes. All three models flex smoothly on electric adjustable beds, and The Essential 7-inch is a particular favorite on adjustable and hi-lo beds.

Can a mattress cure back pain?

No mattress can diagnose, treat or cure back pain. What the right mattress can do is support a comfortable, neutral sleeping posture and relieve pressure, which may help you avoid positions that make discomfort worse. New, severe or persistent pain should always be discussed with a qualified healthcare professional.

Where can I try it?
